Languishing for many years in the shadow of plant inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition research,
studies of organic N uptake have attracted increased attention during the last decade. The …

Here, the coevolution of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is assessed in the light of evidence now
available, from palaeobotanical and morphological studies and the analysis of DNA‐based …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the advances that have been made in understanding the
ecology of the mineral nutrition of wild plants from terrestrial ecosystems have been …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Progress towards understanding the extent to which mycorrhizal fungi are involved in the
mobilization of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from natural substrates is reviewed here …

A growing body of research on plant–microbe interactions in soil is contributing to the
development of a new, microbially based perspective on plant community ecology. Soil …

This revision maintains the position of Forest Ecosystems as the one source for the latest
information on the advanced methods that have enhanced our understating of forest …

This is a completely revised edition of the previously titled Solute Movement in the Soil-Root
System. It describes in detail how plant nutrients and other solutes move in the soil in …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition alters ectomycorrhizal fungal communities, but the
effect on functional diversity is not clear. In this review we explore whether fungi that respond …

The recently recognized importance of organic nitrogen (ON), particularly amino acids, to
plant nutrition in many types of agricultural and natural ecosystems has raised questions …
